Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression of signal-induced proliferation-associated gene 1 (SIPA1), Ezrin and E-cadherin (E-cad), and their relationship with clinical patterns in epithelial ovarian carcinoma.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of SIPA1, Ezrin and E-cad in normal ovarian tissue, benign epithelial ovarian tumor, borderline epithelial ovarian tumor and epithelial ovarian carcinoma,respectively. Results The positive rate of SIPA1 expression was 44.2 % (23/52), 64.5 %(20/31), 93.3 % (28/30) and 100.0 % (15/15) in epithelial ovarian carcinoma, borderline epithelial ovarian tumor, benign epithelial ovarian tumor, and normal ovarian tissue, respectively, and there was a statistical difference (χ2 = 29.159, P= 0.000). The corresponding rates were 57.7 % (30/52), 61.3 % (19/31), 90.0 %(27/30) and 93.3 % (14/15) for the positive rate of Ezrin expression (χ2= 14.555, P= 0.002), as well as for 23.1 % (12/52), 58.1 % (18/31), 86.7 % (26/30) and 0 (0/15) for the positive rate of E-cad expression, respectively (χ2= 45.731, P= 0.000). In patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma, the expression of SIPA1 was correlated with tumor differentiation (χ2=3.895, P=0.048), but not with histological type and clinical stage (all P>0.05). The expression of Ezrin was not correlated with histological type, tumor differentiation and clinical stage (all P>0.05). There was a positive correlation between expression of E-cad and SIPA1, Ezrin in epithelial ovarian carcinoma, respectively (r= 0.339, P= 0.014; r= 0.284, P= 0.041), but no correlation between the expression of SIPA1 and Ezrin (r= 0.214, P= 0.128). Conclusions SIPA1, Ezrin and E-cad play important roles in the occurrence and development of epithelial ovarian carcinoma. They cooperate in the progression and their combined detection can better evaluate the prognosis of epithelial ovarian carcinoma.
